From chic balloon displays to the cutest party favors, this theme has endless ways to make the day unforgettable. We’re already obsessed and can’t wait to share all the wild ideas to help you throw the most amazing shower ever! Let’s get to it!
Decorations & Centerpieces
1) Green and Gold Balloon Display
A green and gold balloon display is really brought together with giraffe-print balloons and some monstera leaves. A backdrop like this is a great spot for the mom-to-be to open up her presents and a beautiful spot for a photo-op with her guests!
2) Orange and White Balloon Display With Monstera Leaves
Orange, gold and green are another great color combination for your safari balloon display. Adding in monstera leaves or palm leaves can give your display an even more intricate look!
3) Safari Tablescape
This combination of colored and clear crystal stemware brings an air of refinement to a safari baby shower. Terracotta colored roses mixed with ivory roses and pampas grass are a stunning option for your centerpiece in a tablescape like this.
4) Safari Animal Cut Out Decorations
If large safari stuffed animals aren’t your style, you can try some large animal cut outs instead for a different take on this look. This style of chair in the photograph is called a ‘peacock chair’ and it’s a great spot for mom-to-be to take a seat while she’s opening photos or snapping pics with her guests.
5) Neon Sign Balloon Display
The neon sign and giraffe cut outs bring an energetic and fun look to this balloon display accentuating the dessert area of this safari baby shower party.
6) Emerald Green Decor Scheme
Dark green or emerald green can be a bold and stunning choice for your safari baby shower. If your venue doesn’t have green walls, you can often find dark green wall panels and curtains to rent from a party supply company and hide the rods at the top with fake or real foliage displays. White hydrangeas and green palm leaves or monstera leaves are a fantastic combination for these centerpieces running down the length of the table.
7) Safari Dessert & Balloon Display
Balloon displays aren’t just for photo ops and entryways! You can set up a stunning scene around your dessert tables to create a look like this one. The animal-print balloons really bring the theme together with their bold patterns and designs.
8) Balloon Display with Plush Animals
The lush green tones bring in that jungle vibe, while the gold adds a touch of elegance and sparkle to the celebration. You can mix shades of green with metallic gold accents to create depth and make the display pop. Add in a few animal-print balloons or palm leaves to tie it all together, and you’ve got a showstopping decoration that’s wild, chic, and totally on-theme!
9) Green, Gold and White Welcome Sign
A balloon display with a wooden “Oh Baby” sign and pampas grass is a stunning way to welcome guests to your safari baby shower! The mix of earthy pampas grass with soft, neutral-toned balloons creates a modern, boho vibe that feels both chic and inviting. The wooden sign adds a warm, natural touch, perfectly complementing the safari theme.
10) Sage, Brown and Beige Safari Balloon Display
A massive balloon display in sage green, brown, and beige is the ultimate showstopper for a safari baby shower! The earthy tones create a lush, jungle-inspired vibe, while the addition of a huge stuffed giraffe and tiger brings the wild theme to life in the most adorable way. It’s the perfect mix of playful and chic, making this setup an unforgettable centerpiece or photo backdrop that guests will absolutely love!
11) Monstera Leaf and Pampas Grass Centerpieces
Monstera leaves and pampas grass arranged in green glass bottles make the perfect centerpiece for a safari baby shower! The bold, tropical monstera leaves bring in that lush, jungle vibe, while the soft, feathery pampas grass adds texture and a modern boho feel. The green glass bottles tie everything together with an earthy, natural look that’s both stylish and effortless.
12) Modern Safari Tablescape
This elegant tablescape is a stunning blend of modern sophistication and safari charm! The dark green tablecloth sets a rich, earthy base, perfectly complemented by crisp white candlesticks in gold holders that add a touch of luxe. White modern animal figurines—think sleek elephants or giraffes—bring playful safari vibes while keeping the look chic and minimal. Crystal vases filled with white flowers complete the setup, adding a soft, fresh touch that ties everything together beautifully.
13) Hot Air Balloon Safari Centerpiece
There are so many things I love about this tablescape. The popcorn party favors, the lion plushie, and the balloon basket that looks like a hot air balloon… It’s just to-die-for. It’s playful and chic at the same time, which is exactly the vibe you want for a safari theme. Honestly, it’s one of those setups that will have guests snapping pics all day long!
14) Single Stem Modern Centerpieces
For a super modern safari vibe, single stems of palm leaves or monstera leaves in tall glass bottles are a sleek and stylish choice! Throw in some calla lilies for a chic touch. The minimalist design keeps the focus on the bold, tropical greenery, creating a fresh and airy look.

Sage green cake pops are another great option for your safari-themed dessert table! If you know a skilled dessert artist, they can sculpt you some tiny safari animal faces to go on top by using modelling chocolate or fondant.
25) Animal-Print Cake Pops
Zebra print, cheetah print and tiger print cake pops are another sweet alternative for your big day. If you’re going for a sophisticated vibe instead of a cutesie one, this is a great option.
